/**
 * The core Remote Credentials service.
 * 
 * This provides low level support for storing, retrieving
 *  and finding remote credentials. Most users will want 
 *  something built on top of this, eg to do the OAuth Dance.
 * 
 * The "Remote System" name chosen by systems built on top of
 *  this need to be unique, to avoid clashes. Where there is
 *  only one thing that is talked to (eg Twitter, Flickr,
 *  Alfresco Cloud), then the "Remote System Name" should be
 *  the name of the system. Where one service can talk to
 *  multiple systems, the system hostname should be used as
 *  a suffix, such as "OpenID-livejournal.com" and 
 *  "OpenID-stackexchange.net", so they can be differentiated.
